Rez 4,961 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Taking the Mrs' old man out on the pigeons with decoys tomorrow. First time we'll of been out together. Don't know how to approach it... I don't really like shooting in partners, I like to be on my own. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to how I like things set up, especially when it comes to being in the fields, but don't really want to be telling him what to do. We'll be decoying the birds to a sh*t heap in a stubble field I've noticed gets quite a bit of attention late afternoon. I know the location is good for double figures if I was on my own. I don't really know what this post is about. Do I get a grip of things and be instructive, or do I let him go about how he wants? He's into his shooting, kinda, nothing on my own level, he owns a full length 410 .177 with Q-Tec, so the equipment isn't an issue and he bought it brand spank on my recommendation. He'll turn up in a green jacket which will do my head in from the start, as I like my nato pattern and so on. Anyone been in this situation? Quote Link to post
stop.end 4,082 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 lol...already thinking to much into it...relax.... and go decoying, don't act the sheriff and most of all don't act the bear grylls and enjoy it..... if you get a shot or 2 so be it if you don't grin and bear it but youll both have a better idea of each other by the end of the day that's for sure with fresh air and exercise thrown into the mix! 1 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) If you have to have a big bag to enjoy a day out then I really feel sorry for you, as your life will be full of disappointments. Take him out, leave your gun at home and simply enjoy the day for what it is. (No matter what colour coat he is wearing.) TC Edited September 12, 2015 by tiercel Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,568 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I hate partnerships when hunting with air rifles, just two people is TWICE the noise, movement,etc,etc. Still its done now Rez, you`re taking the gentleman out . If your gun is going with you tell him to sit silent and take consecutive shots, (if) as and when they occur. "Make very sure he does not better you" ! If he does better you, "Make very sure the lads on here don`t find out" Edited September 13, 2015 by mark williams 2 Quote Link to post
